    Hey, everyone. I'm located in a small town in the San Joaquin Valley, pretty much smack-dab in the middle of California. I'm pushing 40 and have been a wanna-be rodder since high-school. My hotrod experience is mostly limited to shows, swaps, mags, etc. As a contractor, I recently had the opportunity to trade a few hours for a rusty '31 Pontiac Coupe body and frame. I am excited about it being a fairly unique car and see it being built first as a rat rod with an early 60's 389 or 421, then maybe into a nice hotrod. I would like to keep the car on the original frame as a chopped high boy. I'm afraid I might be too tall to fit into it if I channel it, too.

    The bottom line though, is that I am a fairly competant craftsman, I am most likely over my head. So, I'll have about a billion questions for you guys.

    Talk to ya soon!
